Save

Located outside the city walls, it was built to protect the city of Dubrovnik from Venetian attacks, and generally to protect the sea approach to the city. Today, this fortress is famous because during the summer months, many performances are held as part of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the most famous of which is Shakespeare's Hamlet. With its stone and solid structure it will stand proudly far into the future.

This fortress caught my eyes from the outside. Its ancient architectural design and structure is just mesmerizing. It is still in good condition despite it being over a century old. The view of Adriatic sea was fantastic.Touring this place was a magical experience.

while the fortress is a beautiful strong structure, what I enjoyed most was the festival held at the fortress. It was great. a mix of tradition culture and modern performances were the highlight of my stay. I will definitely love to tour this place again
